Since most people are there as a result of a disaster, what might be cannibalized from wreckage and used for survival purposes?
Just about anything from wreckage may have a use. You would just need to balance out what you will really use, versus trying to carry more than you can manage. I would only take what I need for shelter, finding and storing water, and anything that would help me find food.
